GEORGE K. SHRYOOK, OF JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.

DINNER-BUCKET.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,480, dated June 29, 1880. Application filed May 25, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE K. SHEYocK, of Johnstown, in the county of Oambria and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dinner-Buckets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The ordinary tin dinner pail or bucket has a cup or sauce-holder attached to its cover, and provided with a detachable cup which serves for drinking purposes. The joint and bottom of such sauce-holder cannot be easily and perfectly cleaned, and soon becomes rusty and leaky, so that the cover of the pail or bucket wears out before the body of the same.

It is the object of my invention to remedy this objection, and to this end I provide the pail or bucket cover with a glass-lined sauce holder. I preferably construct the glass lining in cup-shaped sections, which are made removable, and I also provide the cylinder with vertical opposite slots, to enable the glass cups to be easily removed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, with a part broken out of the upper portion, of a dinner-bucket constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bucket-cover inverted. Fig.

4 is a vertical section, showing a modification.

A indicates the body, and B the cover, of a tin dinner or lunch bucket. The cover is provided with a small vertical tin cylinder, 0, which is soldered to the former around the edge of an opening, a, of like diameter. This cylinder forms a receptacle for the glass cups D, which fit snugly therein. The cups D rest one 011 another, the lower one projecting through the opening a, and being supported on bars E, which are of angular form and attached to theunder side of the cover B, so as to project below the same a distance nearly equal to the width of the cover-flange b. By

means of such opening aand the pendent supports E more space is obviously afforded for the cups D than would be' otherwise practicable.

In Fig.4 I show the cover B made integral or having no opening. The glass cup D in such case rests directly on the cover, which constitutes the bottom of the cylinder 0.

In place of glass, I may use cups made of porcelain or other non-corrosive material.

The cup or cups may be readily detached when it is requisite to clean them, and by their use the cover B is rendered as durable as the body of the bucket.

The use of more than one cup D enables dii'terent sauces, condiments, or other articles of food to be kept separate from each other.

The cylinder 0 is provided with vertical slots, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to allow access to the cups D for removing them or for placing them in the cylinder. The cylinder is shown in Fig. 1 covered by a handled tin cup, at, such as usually forms a part of the ordinary dinner-bucket.

What I claim as new is 1. A tin dinner-bucket whose cover B is provided with a tin cylinder,,O, having a glass lining or cup, as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the tin dinnerbucket cover having a cylinder, 0, attached thereto and provided with vertical open slots, of the removable glass cup or cups. as shown and described.

3. The combination of the glass cups or receptacles with the tin bucket cover, having the cylinder 0, opening a, and the angular bars arranged pendent beneath said opening, as shown and described.
